Unchecked third-world immigration with no plan and no effort to integrate the new arrivals. Said immigration being a cynical effort by the left to remake the electorate in the West. What do you think the problem is?
And, I fear, the US. Maybe the West started to wake up too late.

Of course not, a woman's sexual purity has value to her future husband. Pretending that women can be promiscuous without consequences is a major fallacy. Holding them to the same standard is misunderstanding the reason for female chastity.

Why is it a double-standard, exactly? 17 year-old men in the rest of the world are soldiers, sailors, fathers and providers. It only in the West that they are treated as children until their mid-twenties. I hardly think they were traumatized. Setting aside the moral issues, of course.
